It is no use by itself and it is supposed that the buffer is accessed
via a bus like
.Xr FireWire 4
or
.Xr kvm 3
for interaction.
.Pp
The buffer consists of 4 channels.
There are 2 ports, one for console tty and other is GDB ports then each port
has a input channel and a output channel.
The physical address of the buffer is sometimes neccesary to acess the buffer.
You can get the address by
.Xr sysctl 8
or
.Xr dmesg 8
.

In this example, the buffer is located at 4732704 in decimal
and 0x483720 in hex.

Once

the buffer can be accessed from another host via FireWire bus using

This driver is still under development.
If you load dcons_crom.ko manually after booted, you may have to initiate
a bus reset by

to update Configuration ROM.
